I’m often being asked what brands I love and use in my life (other than my own – obviously you need more than just great skincare products to get by). Given that spring is the perfect time to start switching out old for new and bad for good, I thought I’d share a few of my favourite natural and organic bathroom-cabinet brands, and why I love them so.
Sunscreen – We all need a good sunscreen, especially as the weather warms and we spend more time outdoors, and I have had a clear favourite for years. The Soleo Organics Sunscreen is my pick because it’s 100% natural and organic, and is not as thick and ‘zincy’ as some of the other natural ones.
Cosmetics – Whilst I don’t wear makeup every day, I have a few brands that I use consistently. My foundation is Inika, my compact powder is Gemma Vendetta and my eyeliner and eyebrow pencil are Ere Perez. LOVE all three of these brands for their natural and organic ingredients.
Toothpaste – I’ve used the same toothpaste for years on both myself and my family. Grants all natural toothpaste tastes great, does the job and doesn’t concern me if my little one’s swallow some. Mint is my favourite flavour but the cinnamon one is delicious too.
Deodorant – I inherited my father’s healthy sweating genes and so I’ve always needed a good deodorant to make me comfortable all day long. I’ve tried a few over the years and I keep coming back to the Miessence deodorant. It’s 100% natural and organic, smells great and it really works. I’ve also used the Black Chicken deodorant paste because it works well too, but I must admit I haven’t repurchased simply because I prefer a roll-on to paste.
Shampoo and Conditioner – I’m currently hooked on the Everescents Rose Shampoo and Conditioner. I LOVE the smell and it really makes my hair shine. Again, its 100% natural and organic, and their 100ml bottles are awesome for travel.
Soap – My recommendation on this one will change soon as we’re working on our very own liquid soap. But in the meantime, I use the Melrose Castille soap. I buy it in bulk and then add my own organic essential oils which vary according to where I’m using it. For example, in the kitchen I add lemon myrtle oil, in the bathroom lavender, and for the dog wash tea tree.
The other thing I love about these brands is that they are all Australian. We’ve got to support our local industry where possible.
I hope you find it helpful.
Spring is the perfect time to take stock of your skincare products, reboot your beauty routine and get yourself set up for the sun to come.
Here's how: Step 1 - ‘Spring clean’ your skincare
Go through your beauty cabinet and get rid of anything you haven’t used for the last 12 months or anything that isn’t pulling its weight.
I really love our eye creme, especially after a sleep-less night. As I enter my 40s I have found that it is now an essential part of my skincare regime and I love what it does for my eyes.
If you are new to eye creams, you may be wondering whether or not you need one and whether it will help you. Well, I’m here to answer your queries and give you all the info you need on eye creams. Here’s just a few of the questions we’ve received lately and our feedback.
The quality of your skin varies according to the season, what you’re eating, the climate you’re in, your stress levels, and what you’re using on your skin.
Your skin is never one skin type but rather a living, breathing, changeable organ, and you should treat it as such. By adapting your diet and skincare, you can keep your skin happy, no matter the season.
For example, in Australia we’re mid-winter which means the weather is cool and dry. So I’ve adapted my skincare routine, some habits and my diet, to keep my skin healthy.
